Delta Desperado (George "Buz" Morrow III) died this past Saturday (10/14/2023). Buz grew up in Yazoo City Mississippi. He was a star defensive end on the University of Mississippi football team. He earned All American Honors and was Archie Manning's roommate. He went on to play with the Minnesota Vikings for a number of years.
I knew Buz from football and golf where we were opposing coaches. I talked him into cowboy shooting years ago. Buz was never a great shooter, but he really enjoyed the sport and the other shooters he met.
Buz's health started to deteriorate a few years ago after a heart attack followed by a stroke. He recovered from those ailments and tried to shoot with us a couple of times, but he stopped because he felt unsafe. His health took a turn for the worse about a year ago, and he never quite recovered.
